Now it needs to be cleaned up and edited. We based the shots on a super fast previz. We'll let you have a look at that and the actual footage, when we find the time to prepare it. Here's the synopsis so you have a little idea of what's going on:

A janitor has gone into the basement of a government building to find the source of a power outage, unaware that he has stumbled upon the source of an invasion.

This scene will occur in the movie after the settings and main characters have been described and is meant to establish the source of their upcoming distress. The main characters work in an office building and suddenly all the lights go out creating a panic. Someone calls the janitor (drinking beer and watching TV in the basement :-) and tells him to investigate.

Bischofftep: Actually it's coffee served in a dirty plastic cop, the image is from our road trip to "Moen" on our outpost mission.
Video was shot on consumer jvc-GRL-157e miniDV. We also had problems with lighting and compression artifacts, but that's life I guess. Life would be easier with HD cams. ...and yeah, they're just some grabs - we felt the previz was adequate. BTW, looks like your own project is coming on nicely...Keep up the good work!

Pufferfish: Thanks, man. Yeah, it's very half-lif'ish...actually we had a hard time choosing the tunnel, because it's part of a giant basement complex with immense hallways, boilerrooms and so on. We actually discussed on location, that it really reminded us of half-life!

Oh, BTW - if you havn't already figured it out. the invasion mentioned in the synopsis is of an insectile nature. We're working on concepts for the bug now...we'll keep you posted!
